If you're willing to go along for the ride and put in the extra effort to follow what is, at times, a very dense work, then you will get a full story with beginning, middle, and end. You meet Morrison's versions of several "real life" pop culture and historical figures along the way, also. The Invisibles has several points in the course of the story when the events will spin in a completely unexpected direction and it can be disorienting to the reader. Some new characters are introduced and the story gets tied up in a neat little package with a mind-blowing final issue. Volume 3 is simply made up of the seventh and final trade, The Invisible Kingdom.
As this part of the story wraps up, it also shows a bit of what is to come in Volume 3, both in story content and in a shift to an even more surreal, metaphysical tone than what has come before. Eventually they are reunited and battle the U.S.
The team then breaks up for some individual stories. The action shifts from England to the United States, and ups the amount of action considerably, starting with the team battling the U.S. Volume 2 consists of the next three Trades, Bloody Hell in America, Counting to None and Kissing Mister Quimper. However, the Invisibles came first, and it really doesn't matter, since this series goes far beyond anything in the Matrix films. People who have gone to the movies in the last 10 years at this point probably recognize some of those plot points as being amazingly similar to The Matrix, and yes, they are. The Conspiracy captures the leader of the Invisibles, King Mob, and the Invisibles must rescue him with the help of their newest and strongest member, who now goes by the name Jack Frost. In the process, Dane gets told he is potentially the most powerful person on the planet, and that he could possibly be the next Buddha. The story starts quickly and soon he is being recruited by a secret society known as the Invisibles to battle the Conspiracy. We are introduced to Dane McGowan, a young man who is on the wrong side of the law. Volume 1 is made up of the first three Trades, Say You Want A Revolution, Apocalipstick and Entropy in the U.K.

You couldn't really read a later volume without having read the others, but the volume breaks make natural breathing points in the series, much like episodes of a TV series or a movie with sequels. The series broke up into three separate volumes for its original Vertigo run, and is collected in seven trade paperbacks.
